Growing People to Share the Load

The journey of people development is crucial in getting our businesses to achieve their objectives. We need to assess where we are as individuals and how many employees we have in each category:

• Doer
• Supervisor
• Manager
• Leader

This journey is important because individuals will have greater levels of fulfillment and the organization will benefit because we have deeper contributions being made and all the bases will be covered. It is important to insure a couple of people are not trying to own everything themselves. It comes down to growing your direct reports and empowering them to own their performance. We want to identify where we are missing the mark and what needs to be different in our performance. Be sure to analyze our patterns of behavior in our personal performance to make course corrections and be clear about what we are working on to drive to the next level. Look for things like self-inspection and have plans for how we can help them to elevate their play.
